Gates' three laws of Humanity

If you are a geek, like everyone is, I'm sure you must have heard of Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics -

A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Here are my three laws-

Gates will protect self and interests surroundin' it, not allowin' any other human being to do any harm by all means, action or inaction, rational or irrational to the possible extent. Principles are sine qua non and hold true in all circumstances. Other human's interests are purely seconday, and so are other humans.

It will mind its own business, and will not cause harm to and on another human's expense as far as it doesn't conflict with the First Law.

It will help other humans with whom it doesn't have conflict of interest as far as they do not break the eleventh commandment (*For people who don't know, eleventh commandment says- Thy shall not try bullshiting me) or conflict with the First and the second law.

Its perfectly co - incidental that its comin' out at same time as ArZ00n's rip off of Newton's laws.
